    John N Ng’ombe, John N Ng'ombe et al.ARTICLEAgrekon2026

    We study the impacts of sustainable soil fertility management (SFM) practices – animal manure, minimum tillage, and improved fallows, on maize income per hectare in Zambia. Using data from 1,210 rural households, we use debiased/double machine learning (DML) to estimate average treatment effects (ATE) – the expected impact if all farmers adopted a practice – and effects on the treated (ATT), reflecting the actual benefit realised by current adopt…

  • From charcoal to clean cooking

    Open AccessLeo C Zulu, I N S Djenontin et al.ARTICLEEnergy Research & Social Science2026References: 6

    Understanding household energy choices and behaviors is essential for advancing clean cooking transitions in Africa. This study analyzes urban household cooking energy profiles in Lusaka, Zambia, and Lilongwe, Malawi, two rapidly urbanizing capitals with rising electricity access. Drawing on household survey data, we explore fuel usage patterns, appliance choices and usage, and the drivers of energy choices. Findings reveal persistent fuel stacki…

  • Impact of Zambia’s farmer input support program E-voucher system on smallholder farmers’ food security

    Auckland N Kuteya, Thomson Kalinda et al.ARTICLEAgrekon2025

Although the program’s objective is to improve food se…
